Can you use your phone number in messages instead of your apple I.D.?

I want to link my cell phone messages to the new messages application instead of using an apple id.  Am i able to do this?  If so, how?

First of all, the ability to use a phone number in addition to an Apple ID on a Mac's messages application is supposed to come in the Fall.
Secondly, you can have two Apple IDs authorized on one Mac.  To get the second one authorized, while in iTunes, go to Store ---> Authorize this computer.  That way, after synching with your iPhone, it will be able to use the apps from the two Apple IDs.

  • Can I use one phone number on two iphones with two apple ids?

    My carrier allows multiple sim cards with the same phone number for usage on different devices. I would like to use a second sim card for my phone number on a second iphone, but with a different apple id.
    Is it possible to use one phone number on two iphones with separate apple ids? How does this affect facetime/imessage?
    I can only find answers to using the same apple id on multiple devices. This works fine, but is not what I want to do here.

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

  • TS3510 how do you use your apple ID email with facetime on your laptop and your iphone?

    I am trying to set up my Facetime on my laptop and it's telling me that my email is already being used (from my iphone facetime). Can you use your Apple ID email AND iphone accounts in for both FaceTimes?

    That's normal. Just enter your password. You won't be able to change the Apple ID that appears there. After you sign out, and sign in with the new Apple ID, it will take the place of the old one.
    If you changed your Apple ID password, enter the new password.
    There are many iCloud services, and you might be confronted with the old Apple ID as you use them. You might have to sign out of each one individually, and sign in under your revised Apple ID.
    I agree it's confusing. It's even more confusing if you created more than one Apple ID. That's a different circumstance from changing an Apple ID. I hope you didn't do that.

  • How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

    I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
    Thank you!

    TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

  • IMessage will not activate and it wont let me use my phone number either, messages are sent from email

    Trying to activate iMessage and it says "waiting for activation" for ages and then it wont activate, even after three hours. It also wont choose my phone number to send messages from, it uses my email address instead. PLease help

    Is your phone number checked even though it is grayed out? It is chosen by default and even though grayed out should be checked automatically. I had the same issue with people getting my messages from my icloud email which I never use and my messages would start new threads because of it and some people did not recognize my email. Well, one thing that helped me was to go in and make sure that the email you use for your Apple ID is listed as "Home" in your contacts on each of your devices. I'm not sure if that is working with everyone I am messaging yet, but it solved some of them.
    Also for me, I am not getting iMessages on my ipad or MBP with Mtn Lion. I have not solved this yet. Anybody out there had this issue yet?
